I had questions for as long as I can remember, and had periods where I really wanted to believe, but I think it was the History of Christianity course I took in college that made me go, “Ooooooooh, this IS all really just made up!”

The Rembrandts definitely wrote “I’ll Be There For You” in the parking lot in 1994.

She’d never ask a tourist from another country who they voted for because she doesn’t know who any world leaders are.

You too can mourn America’s Fallen Heroes, just like President Donald J. Trump, in this luxurious white and gold patriotic baseball cap! 🙄

Is it just me or has AppleTV done a better job of capturing crowd noise in the #MLS broadcasts this year?

Or probably “kvaf-bay.”

The true German way is to make a long compound word like Quartalfernsehenboxen and then just use an acronym like QFB spoken like, “koo-eff-bay” instead.
